Proceeding contribution from Robert Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [Lords].


Legal Services Bill [Lords]

I shall be brief, and shall begin with the point with which the hon. Member for North Durham (Mr. Jones) concluded—the obsession with vested interests among certain Government Members. No one, including all the lawyers I know, wants anything other than effective, robust and strong regulation, which is in the profession's interests just as much as the consumer's. It is genuinely sad that some hon. Members cannot get that into their head, although I think that the Minister accepts it. It is sad that our debates are often coloured, dare I say, by an obsession among certain Government Members.
